Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Varsity Lakes

Goodstart Varsity Lakes is conveniently located next to Bond University, close to local businesses, and easily accessible by bus. Serving the multicultural Varsity Lakes community, our centre has been a trusted presence for over 10 years.

We provide care for children from six weeks to five years, with many families staying with us long-term, from Nursery through to Kindergarten. Our family-friendly environment is supported by nurturing, experienced educators, most of whom have been with us for over a decade. All team members hold Diplomas or are working towards relevant qualifications, ensuring a high standard of care.

Communication with families is a priority; we maintain daily program books, a community noticeboard, and offer flexible ways to stay connected. Families are encouraged to visit anytime and share feedback to enhance our service.

Our centre runs a kinder-funded program led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher, who collaborates with Varsity Primary School to prepare children for a successful transition to school. Kindergarten children also enjoy additional activities such as Nikko Nikko Japanese classes and Kelly Sports.

Our doors are open to new families, and we look forward to welcoming you to our extended community.
